Catwg Primary School

Confidence in the school comes from knowing and understanding what is happening within it. We hope you will extend your knowledge through contact and discussion with myself and members of staff and take advantage of the occasions for consultation. It is important that mutual understanding and trust should be the basis of our shared responsibility for the education of your children.
Schools are required under the Education (Pupil Registration) (Wales) Regulations 2010 to take an attendance register twice a day: at the start of the morning session and once during the afternoon session. The accuracy of the register is important to support any statutory interventions that may be required. It should be noted that it is an offense not to maintain accurate registers.
Governors are volunteers, people who care about teaching, learning, and children. They represent people in the local community and the staff of the school. They are part of a team that accepts responsibility for everything a school does and have time to commit to attending termly meetings and other occasions when required. Governors are willing to learn and to attend regular governor training sessions held by the Local Education Authority but are still able to cast a critical eye upon how the school works and the standards it achieves.
Governors act as a link between parents, the local community, and the school. Governors meet as a minimum requirement termly and discuss matters relating to the school, which include its management, day-to-day running, premises, the curriculum, the Headteacher's termly report, and other such matters that may be brought to their attention. The Headteacher's report is a comprehensive termly report including details of children on roll, deployment of teaching and non-teaching staff, the curriculum, progress on the School Improvement Plan, educational visits, visitors to the school, premises, and general management issues.
The Governing Body fully supports the implementation of the School Improvement Plan and sets Performance Management targets for the Headteacher. These targets are in line with the Headteacher’s continuing professional development and complement the School Improvement Plan. The Governing Body carries out school policy and strategy reviews, making amendments where necessary eg to comply with changes in legislation.
